You can also see Randy regularly on the Untouchable Tours, as the gangster tour guide, "Shoulders", who leads you on a comedic, yet historical, 2 hour bus tour through Chicago's prohibition past. Call (773) 881-1195 and ask when "Shoulders" is on next. BTW, the nickname "Shoulders" is an homage to a character from the 1976 comedy, "The Big Bus".

To be a full-time actor in Chicago one must have several sources of income. Fortunately for Randy, aka "Shoulders", The Untouchable Tours has provided him steady work for over 20 years. Despite the bad economy tourism is still going strong. It seems that despite all the great things Chicago is know for, amazing food, deep dish pizza, the blues, sports teams, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, Barack Obama, treasure filled museums, theatre, La ke Michigan, the El, the Blues Brothers, Frank Lloyd Wright, and some of the tallest buildings in the world, out-of-towners inevitably ask about Al Capone and then make the pretend machine gun sound.
Described as "Theater on Wheels" the black Untouchable Tours school bus takes you on an almost 2 hour tour of Chicago's prohibition past. Call (773) 881-1195 for reservations and tell 'em you wanna see "Shoulders". Incidentally, the nickname "Shoulders" is an homage to a character from the 1976 comedy, "The Big Bus" .

Randy G. Craig on Fox's Chicago Code

2011-02-18T11:33:00.008-06:00

Randy lands a small role as a supply truck driver for the new FOX TV cop show, The Chicago Code which airs Monday, February 21. 2011, 8pm CST, episode #3: "Gillis, Chase and Babyface". Don't blink because Randy only has a couple of lines (ha ha). In this episode a crooked (what? in Chicago?) alderman Ronin Gibbons (Delroy Lindo) is linked to a construction company (patronage? not here!). A few cops are sent over to a building site to issue petty tickets (never!).

It was a terribly cold and windy day despite the sunshine when his scene was shot back on 10/28/11 in a hidden little park (no. 546 to be exact) at the corner of N. Park Dr. and E. Benton Pl. nestled between Grant Park and the Chicago river. Luckily, he got to sit in a warm truck while his scene partner Todd Williams (officer Isaa c Joiner) froze without a coat "acting" like it was much warmer. The exciting show is set and filmed in Chicago where local viewers play "name that neighborhood" during the chase scenes. It also stars home grown actress, the fabulous Jennifer Beals. Special thanks to Simon Casting and Lily's Talent Agency.

The Chicago Code

2010-11-08T07:19:00.006-06:00

Randy gets a couple lines on the new cop show being filmed in Chicago, The Chicago Code. He plays a disgruntled supply truck driver who gets a ticket. Formerly known as Ride Along, The Chicago Code seems to take some cues from HBO's The Wire, focusing on the political relationships of cops within the department and the influence of corrupt local government officials. What? Corruption in Chicago?

Of course, according to this Chicagoan, authenticity will be judged by how they pronounce the name Chicago: shi-CAW-go (like it should be) or shi-CAH-go (like an outsider). The show premiers February 2011 on Fox.
